This 1956 "B" side the you tube post is also from a 78rpm copy of this record.
While this is the most expensive 45 I brought, I was given quite a few 45's some were quite scarce records, the cheapest records I ever brought were some LP's, it was an eBay listing of 100 comedy LP's starting at 99p and pick up only, the seller was in Guildford not too far away, so I put in a bid, there was only one other bid, another record dealer, and I picked up the lot for £10.07, the size of the lot had also grown from 100 LP's to 700 LP's, It was a good job I took the car rather than 2 cases for 50 LP's each, on getting the LP's home I started to give then a cursory sort out, there being multiple copies of some LP's, I think Tony Handcock's the Blood Doner was the most common one, there was a Monty Python LP that had water damage to the cover, on checking the record it had never been played, so I cleaned the record and put it back in the cover, as I was putting the record away a water stained envelope fell out, I was just about to throw it away when I noticed it was un opened, on the front it said "To John, with love from Mum and Uncle Jack" in side was a Florence Nightingale £10 note, John had never opened or played the record so never discovered his present inside, so cashing in the £10 I got 700LP's for 7p.
